New photos from the film "The Lady Generals of the Yang Family" show Cecilia Cheung's version of the legendary heroine Mu Guiying as a bride holding a dagger.

These photos depict a scene in which the valiant Mu Guiying forces general Yang Zongbao to marry her. Richie Ren plays Yang Zongbao.

"Lady Generals", in Chinese "Yang Men Nv Jiang Zhi Jun Ling Ru Shan", is inspired by the ancient saga of a large family in which widows followed their husbands' steps into the battlefield. Mu Guiying was the most famous one among the lady generals of the Yang family.

Mu Guiying, a frequent subject of Chinese opera, is usually portrayed as full of courage and wit.

"Lady Generals" is one of actress Cecilia Cheung's comeback movies after she gave birth to her second son last May.

The female-dominated film also stars Cheng Pei-Pei, Kathy Chow and Liu Xiaoqing.

The still photos reveal the first date of the characters. Chapman To plays a billionaire and Cecilia Cheung plays someone working in a cosmetics company. Instead of a candlelight dinner, they have their first date in a hotpot restaurant.

In addition to that it is Cecilia Cheung's first comeback movie, the moviegoers are expecting Louis Koo's feminine performance. Besides, Donnie Yen is also the movie's highlight as he performs in a comedy for the first time.

watched Running with Karma with Andy Lau and Cecilia Cheung. He plays this muscle bound former monk who lives his life as a stripper by night, and saves people by day.

Cecilia Cheung plays a young cop who always gets picked on by her superior, but she keeps solderiing on. Meeting "Biggie" she is almost crushing on him like Lois Lane and her Superman.

FUCK ALL DAT TABLOID. Cecilia Cheung remains one of my fave Hong Kong artists...she has the enigmatic innocent quality that makes Natalie Portman or any other Hollywood ingénue wish they were Ceci.

She acts like she's a crazy stripclub goer.

but is all serious about her job.

and when her boss tells her to get in the tin can, she DOES it.

Unlike fucking other popstar / singers (ex. Sammi Cheng's whiny bitch or Miriam Cheung's laid back bitch), she HAS FUCKING RANGE. She goes from cute to like frightened to compassionate to hopelessly in love. I've really missed her acting.

They come across a murder and Biggie cannot help but see the visions of a Cecilia's character's impending fate....he tries to help her over and over, but is conflicted - there is just too much negative in her past...she is going to die eventually.

Resigned to her fate, she seems to throw her life away and parties! But she is committed to being a cop 4 LIFE and find justice with what little life she has left.

Won't spoil it but WOW. Johnnie To really weaves quite the tale with Andy's Biggie fighting a bum version of himself until he reaches a CLEAR VISION....if he gets revenge on the guy who killed the people he loved, he is just creating more hate in the world.

The DEEPNESS... No wonder they won big time at the Hong Kong Film Awards. GOOD SHIT.

LEGENDARY AMAZONS, the Cecilia Cheung comeback vehicle helmed by Frankie Chan, was recently picked up by Jackie Chan‘s Jackie & JJ Productions at the European Film Market in Berlin. The film, which was formerly titled LADY GENERALS OF THE YANG FAMILY, is based on a famous Chinese opera set in the Song Dynasty. When the men of the Yang Clan were massacred in battle, the women, from elderly grandmother to little sisters, put on armor and led the army to victory. A Yang family daughter-in-law, Mu Guiying, is a celebrated woman warrior in Chinese folklore. Cheung, who has been sidelined for several years while raising a family with husband Nicholas Tse, plays Mu Guiying. Veteran wuxia actress Cheng Pei-pei is the 100 year old Yang matriarch, She Taijun. The ’90s action sweetheart Yukari Oshima and Taiwanese actor/singer Richie Ren are also in the cast.

Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi continued to work on Stanley Kwan Kam Peng's film REPEAT I LOVE YOU in Shenzhen. Two nights ago Pak Chi and Korean star Kwon Sung-Woo worked on a dance scene. Many Hong Kong reporters covered the shoot and even got into a dispute with the security.

Yesterday Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi officially began work on her new film THE LION ROARS 2. As soon as she got out of bed she was nauseated and looked much thinner. Yesterday Pak Chi began work on her new film THE LION ROARS 2 (HOR TUNG SI HAU 2) for the first time. She appeared to be in good spirit and when she was not on the set she played with her phone. Originally frail Pak Chi looked even thinner and was nauseated early at work.

Yesterday, Cheung Pak Chi arrived at the Xiangshan film and television city's Spring and Autumn Warring State city to start work. She was already in make up when she arrived. The team in order to coordinate with Pak Chi had guards at the film city gates, stairways and corners to fully prevent the media from disturbing Pak Chi. Even so, reporters still did their best for a peek of Pak Chi at work. With make up bruises on her left cheek and left corner of her mouth, Pak Chi looked occupied with herself. Often she would flash a smile and attentively studied the script with director Joe Ma Wai Ho.

Despite her appearance, Pak Chi has been nauseated since work began and looked frailer than before. A worker revealed, "Pak Chi is still sick. She vomited at the hotel. Actually since she came back from Milan she has been sick." The worker also said that Pak Chi in order to keep from hindering the progress worked until late at night as scheduled. She did not ask to return to Hong Kong to see a doctor either as she was very professional. The worker also said, "It's very hot here, Pak Chi really is having a hard time. Art director (William) Chang Suk Ping already tried to make some lighter costumes for her so she wouldn't have to suffer in the heat and the sun."

LION's investment company Asia Entertainment Group chief Yu Yuk Hing also confirmed that Pak Chi was sick. "She got up around 7 for work, soon she started vomiting. However she has been quite professional. The workers asked her if she needed to go to the hospital, she only took a sip of water and rested before continuing. She has quite an actor's ethics."

Yu guessed that Pak Chi still had the flu, got up earlier, the heat and dieting for the new film costumes made her sick. He joked that Pak Chi even had the Mayor of Ningbo under her spell. "The Ningbo Mayor was visiting nearby. As soon as he found out Pak Chi was working at the film and television city, he personally visited the set. The Mayor very happily chatted with Pak Chi and said that he admired her and thought she was very professional."

Supposedly the team complained about Pak Chi taking time off. Yu denied it and said, "Absolutely not! As I have said, right now it is only the break in period, the scenes would be very easy going. Her time off wouldn't affect progress."

Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi has been working on THE LION ROARS 2 (HOR DUNG SI HAU 2) in Xiangshan with famous Mainland comedy star Xiao Shenyang. They very quickly established chemistry and set off many sparks. Whether on or off the set they created a lot of laughter.

Earlier on the set they demonstrated a "shuttling" dance as they bumped heads and stepped on toes. Pak Chi's braids even often slapped Xiao Shenyang's face. Their expressions were mischievous and they danced and laughed so hard that they were tearing up, as the set was filled with laughter. The dance was one of the major comedy bright spots in the entire film. Pak Chi and Xiao Shenyang trained with a dance instructor before the shoot, but during the shoot due to the lack of music they had a hard time with the pace. Director Joe Ma Wai Ho immediately thought up using a mobile phone to play a song.

SHIT CONGRATS!!!...by far one of the best actresses in Asian cinema. and some Donnie Yen gossip

Cecilia Cheung wins Two Awards

After Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung earlier announced their divorce, they were busy with their own work. Pak Chi two nights ago attended the 2011 LETV film and television awards in Beijing. Pak Chi won two awards, the Asia Pacific region Most Popular Actor of the Year and the Asia Pacific region Most Commercially Valuable Actor". She also represented THE LION ROARS 2 (HOR TUNG SI HAU 2) team in accepting the "Most Anticipated Romantic Comedy of The year. Donnie Yen Chi Tan also won the "Asia Pacific region Best Actor".

The award show two nights ago was star studded, with Cheung Pak Chi, Zhang Guoli, Wang Xueqi, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Christy Chung Lai Tai, Eva Huang Shengyi, Zhou Dongyu, Yen Chi Tan, Jiro Wang Dong-Cheng and others. The just divorced Pak Chi naturally became the focus. When Pak Chi arrived in Beijing in the afternoon, to avoid the media she entered through the boarding gate. After arriving she directly went to walk the red carpet with boss Yu Yuk Hing. Pak Chi only said that she would never give up in her career and would keep going forward. She also wished all those who cared about her to be happy with her and live happily.

Yen Chi Tan two nights ago won the Asia Pacific Region Best Actor. Chi Tan pointed out that acting indeed required time to soak through. After almost 30 years in the business he just got it now. As a kung fu actor, he was very happy that everyone recognized his acting. Chi Tan also pointed out that every actor wanted to win but he would face it with a peaceful heart. He said that in recent years every character he played he would put an effort into studying it, giving his great effort to interpret the character's inside. He believed the audience saw his hard work. However awards required timing, location and people.

In addition, Chi Tan reportedly already had eight films on hand as well as a big Hollywood film offer. Chi Tan revealed at the end of September he will return to work on film. He said that the earlier holiday was to relax and to "recharge". He hoped to be able to find inspiration and start anew. Recently many films asked him to perform but he did not want to produce excessively. Thus he turned down many offers.

Hong Kong singer and actress Cecilia Cheung is preparing for her new music album, which is due to be released at the end of this year, Hong Kong media reports.

It will be Cheung's first album in five years, which will include a song written by Cheng herself talking about her failed marriage with Hong Kong actor Nicolas Tse. The couple filed for divorce earlier this year.

A press conference will be held on September 8th in Shanghai, during which Cheung will publicly sing the song for the first time.

Cecilia Cheung Blasts Wong Jing With Sarcasm, Criticizes Script As Being No Good

The movie that starred the mother and son team which consisted of Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) and her real life son, Lucas Tse (謝振軒), held it’s premiere in Hong Kong yesterday.

Lucas who had just started school, was unable to attend the premiere. On the other hand, his mother, Cecilia Cheung, was earlier blasted by the Mainland investors of that film for not attending enough promotions. This incurred Cecilia’s manager to retaliate and clarify matters on Weibo.

Yesterday night, Cecilia appeared at the movie premiere of that said film in Hong Kong. It was not known whether she was unwilling to be aggrieved but during the premiere, Cecilia blasted the script and the scriptwriter as being no-good.

This left Wong Jing (王晶), who was both the scriptwriter and the director of the film, with no choice but to act according to circumstances and to play it by ear, transforming Cecilia’s remarks into a joke, in hopes of driving away the unwanted guest.

Attending the premiere of her movie, Treasure Hunt《無價之寶》, Cecilia was donned in a Jean Paul Gaultier floral jumpsuit and had a new explosive zig zag hairstyle.

This also marked Cecilia Cheung’s first public appearance in Hong Kong after agreeing to a divorce with Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒).

Upon her appearance, Cecilia made known that she wouldn’t be accepting any interviews from the press and only had a verbal exchange with the emcee. After staying to have the toasting ceremony and cutting of mooncake, Cecilia immediately fled the scene, rendering the remaining cast and crew speechless. In fact, Cecilia only stayed at the movie premiere of “Treasure Hunt” for a mere ten minutes!

Wong Jing Take It As It Comes

Earlier on, the Mainland investing company that invested in “Treasure Hunt” blasted Cecilia for accepting a filming remuneration of ten million when she had refused to abide by her side of the contract, which required her to attend promotional events for the film.

Upon learning about this, Cecilia’s manager went on Weibo to clarify matters and defend Cecilia, stirring up a war of words with the investing company.

Last night, when Cecilia was on stage, her every sentence was dripping with sarcasm, even going as far as to rebuke the script for being lousy. When the emcee asked her about any amusing stuff that happened during her time filming with Lucas, Cecilia responded, “Lucas was just being himself. I am usually the one who would help him to bathe every night. Hence, during filming, we were just performing our normal day-to-day activities like sleeping and bathing. Lucas didn’t even know that we were acting in a movie.”

As for whether Lucas had displayed any acting talent, Cecilia replied, “Lucas has my DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), he also loves to change dialogues and deliver some lines “off-the-cuff”. Maybe he felt that the scriptwriter was not good, he didn’t even followed one dialogue from it, he just self-invented the dialogues and presented it in a way which surfaced the naiveness of a child.”

Cecilia continued, “Lucas’ scenes took about a day to film in Hong Kong but he still felt very happy and comfortable.” (Emcee: Did Lucas suffer from any acting relapse and requested to shoot another movie again?) “Nope! Maybe there isn’t any good script around lahs!” It could be seen that after trampling on the screenwriter, Cecilia continued to crush the script!

Despite Cecilia’s harsh bashing, Wong Jing, who was the producer, scriptwriter and director of “Treasure Hunt”, did not flinch and continued to be all smiles. Wong Jing responded, “Wait till Lucas is 18 years old and I will give him a movie about courting girls to film lahs!”

After saying her piece, Cecilia didn’t went in with everyone to enjoy the movie but instead, she slipped through the back door of the cinema and left. However, before leaving, Cecilia still stopped to accept flowers from her fans as a form of polite gesture.

About rumors of Cecilia’s refusal to promote the film, Wong Jing professed, “This isn’t Cecilia’s only promotion. The previous time we promoted at Guangxi and the praying ceremony is also considered as another promotion too. But of course, as the producer, I feel that the more promotions done, the better lahs!” (Reporter: Cecilia refused to accept an interview this time?) “Take photographs of her lors! Because she also has nothing to revert to the things you guys ask her!”

(Did you feel that Cecilia has fulfilled enough of the promotions obligations?) “I had already shot over a hundred dramas, I will not force my friends to do something that they are willing to do.” (In the future when Cecilia takes up movie offers, will her arrangements be like this too?) “I have not seen her for a long time, you guys should ask her management company instead.” (Will you be collaborating with her again?) “See how the tendency goes lors, will find her again if it’s appropriate and suitable.”

Not planning to collaborate again for the time being

Asked whether it was because Cecilia’s asking price has increased significantly, Wong Jing laughed heartily and said, “Her asking price has never been cheap, even before she had gotten married, it was also not cheap.”

The reporter then asked Wong Jing whether he would take this opportunity to talk to Cecilia about her mood after divorce. Wong Jing responded that this was also the first time he had seen Cecilia ever since she had divorced with Nicholas Tse but he expressed that he rarely talks about personal matters thus he did not ask Cecilia about her private affairs. Wong Jing also continued, “Cecilia is already an adult lahs, I am also considered half an uncle to Cecilia hence I do not need to deliberately bring it up.”

Actually, Cecilia was in high spirits throughout the premiere. Upon reaching the premiere, she had even privately chatted with former rumored squeeze, Ronald Cheng (鄭中基). The duo even erupted into bouts of laughter in between their conversation. It turned out that Ceilia had joked that Ronald looked like “King of Cat” Elvin Presley.

Cecilia later proceeded to cut a giant mooncake with Jacquelin Chong (莊思敏), Phillip Ng (伍允龍) and the rest of the cast and crew. In the midst of cutting it, a piece of the mooncake bounced and shivered, which drew attention from Cecilia and Ronald, who exchanged glances amongst themselves and laughed.

Better late than never. What the fuck happened to all the Asian movie fans?

A Chinese remake of Hollywood movie "Dangerous Liaisons" (Wei Xian Guan Xi) has began filming. The cast of the film includes Zhang Ziyi and Cecilia Cheung, who star as the film's female leads. This will be the first movie in which the two actresses star alongside one another.

A press release was held in Beijing on Monday and was attended by the major cast members. According to a report by China news.com, Zhang Ziyi said she fell in love with her role after reading the script, and even recommended that Cecilia Cheung star in the role opposite her. In the movie, the two women will wage war in an effort to win the heart of a man, portrayed by South Korean actor Jang Donggun.

The movie is loosely based on the French novel, Les Liaisons dangereuses, but the story is set in 1930s' Shanghai. South Korean director Jin-ho Hur takes the helm during the production stages with Chinese writer Yan Geling penning the script.

A promotional event for the upcoming release of romance drama "Shadows of Love" (Ying Zi Ai Ren) was held in Beijing on Wednesday, March 14; the day known as "White Valentine's Day", mtime.com reports.

Director Yuen-Leung Poon and lead actors Cecilia Cheung, Jing Tian, Angela Chang and Boran Jing attended the event. The film, produced by renowned director Stanley Kwan, tells the story of three separate romances which take place against different backdrops.

Director Poon explained that the movie is about seeking true love. Cecilia Cheung and South Korean actor Kwon Sang-woo act one of the movie's romance stories, portraying a love triangle between a wealthy young man and twin sisters. Cecilia Cheung noted that it was incredibly hard for her to portray two different characters at the same time.

The movie is scheduled for release shortly though no specific date has been decided upon yet.
